You know you deserve more joy in your life, so let’s go get it

Hello! I’m Sophie (aka The Joyful Coach)…

An orange starburst shape with multiple pointed rays on a black background.

As a society, we’ve perfected so many things, but there’s one fundamental thing we still got completely wrong: how to prioritise joy.

That’s why my mission is to help busy women reclaim their joy, helping them to shed the “should”s and find what works for them: because joy means something different to everyone.

I help women get to know themselves and what they want (what they really, really want) using evidence-based and science-backed positive psychology and coaching tools, and then support them in turning that into action.

According to YOU magazine, I’m “The poster girl for joy”

And I’m very pleased with that title, thank you very much! 

With 7 years of experience as a qualified life coach, positive psychology practitioner, and bestselling author, I help busy and burnt out women improve their wellbeing by reconnecting with their joy. This isn’t toxic positivity: it’s evidence-based positive psychology, bridging the gap between fusty academic journals (no offence) and real lived experience.
